The Muppets of the Week are... HUGGA WUGGA and THINGY THING! Yes, those sound like nonsense sounds, but they're the stars of a fan favorite and abstract sketch from The Muppet Show.

The Muppets of the Week are... JIM, FRANK, and JERRY! Otherwise known as The Country Trio! These icons are modeled after their performers: Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Jerry Nelson, and they were designed and built by the legendary Bonnie Erickson. So it's a pretty great thing that we've got Bonnie on this podcast as our very special guest!
The Muppet of the Week is... DROOP! The Muppets' resident sad little guy is extra sad because he didn't get his own week in the main 70th anniversary campaign. But now is his time to shine!

The Muppet of the Week is... BIG TINY TALLSADDLE! He's the head of country radio station WHOG, and he very well might be the worst Muppet to ever grace the stage of The Muppet Show.
The Muppet of the Week is... DELBERT, THE LA CHOY DRAGON! So cook up some noodles in dragon fire and let's get going on this classic Jim Henson commercial star!
The Muppet of the Week is... FLEET SCRIBBLER! He's the obnoxious gossip journalist who just can't help himself from writing scathing articles about The Muppet Show for his tabloid "The Daily Scandal".
To learn more about the ethics of Fleet's job, we're turning to a series of real life journalists!
The Muppet of the Week is... ANNIE SUE! One of the most shocking omissions from the original 70th anniversary campaign! We're doing her justice by proving that the world knows who Annie Sue is... right?
The Muppet of the Week is... SUMMER PENGUIN! Created for the 2018 revival of Muppet Babies, we're counting her as an official Muppet. Hey, if Baby Skeeter counts, then Summer does too.
With special guest: Muppet Babies producer, writer, and voice actor Matt Danner! Yaaaaaaaay!

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
